Benmont rocks "Green Onions"

Post by JakeK »



This version is similar to what went out on the "Live Anthology". Note Mike rockin' the 350MC

This was '99...I wonder if it's still on 10 years later.

What years was it popular?

I don't think I've ever heard a bad version of that track. Thanks for posting it.

Same here. I just love that tune. And yeah, I did notice the 350. I thought that was way cool.

I think that the BEST version that I've ever heard is the Booker T & the MGs live version that's on the Stax Profiles album. It is absolutely blistering and the guitar and bass sound like they're about the destroy the amps that they're coming through.
